If you are not already familiar with Esquire Magazine’s “The Style Blog,” which provides style tips, one-line shopping rants and various other sartorial inspirations for men, then you should check out its series, “Everything You Need to Know About…” The most recent blogs are mainly how to wear Tweed, Velvet and other fall-friendly jackets, paired with some solid denim jeans and smart footwear. I like the fact that they find a balance between style, simplicity and sartorial intrigue, all while avoiding getting a ticket to ride on the train to “Liberaceville,” as the editors often point out so poignantly.
